Descendants from June Fourth exiles, a story of searching for father

"Schoolmates, do not ask my name, simply stretch out your hands, and here is my hand, let us put our arms around, let us weaving the life and truth together." It was 1989, when summer meets spring. There were four university students in their early twenties without knowing each other but in the light of democracy, Liu Xian Bin, Zhang Qian were marching from Chang'an street all the way to the Tiananmen Square then end up in Qin Cheng Prison hand in hand...... Back to society after multiple imprisonment, Liu Xian Bin still fighting the totalitarian, while Yang Hai striving to live a normal life. Two different people running on three different paths and had built their families. The seed of democracy they once sown still waiting for an opportunity to sprout, but the condemnation of 'counter- revolutionary riot' is like a curse keep irritating their children. Liu's daughter has been told her father's imprisonment was his own fault, Yang's daughter always complain her father only focus on democratic movement without spare time with his family…….. Eventually, these daughters left their country to search for the truth and their fathers abroad while they living with lots of unanswered questions in hometown, China. "keep search, my schoolmates, keep search, my brothers, keep search, my sisters, keep search, my daughters, stretch out your hands, live your life in exile, go search for the true history, to find out who I am."
